Clutch, Yes!

A Christmas gift/challenge for 2014: try to make a store-bought looking clutch purse for my fab niece. I chose black vinyl with a bright gold zipper - kind of disco classique! (one hopes!)

Some images as a play-by-play:
Zipper in place....
Made more than a few alterations to get the correct proportions....
Proportions correct, time to put in the linings! (Oh, wait! That pic is actually before all the size changes. But you get the picture. Anyhow...) The white stuff is this spongy stuff from a millinery class a million years ago & the gold lining is from bridesmaids' dresses from my brother & sis-in-law's wedding (niece's parents).
Inside view - always must have pockets in purses! (green & gold fab is vintage)
Little charm at edge of pocket.


Finished product! AND, even better, finished by the date I had to ship by! :)
